Lights, camera, action – Doors Open Toronto lineup announcement

The 19th annual Doors Open Toronto, presented by Great Gulf, announced its lineup of buildings, city-wide walking tours and special programs for May 26 and 27. The weekend celebration of architecture features more than 130 building participants, including over 55 new sites, a speaker series, music program and more. Details are now available at toronto.ca/doorsopen.

This year's theme, Film: The Great Romance, explores the city's film and television industry and the spaces where actors, designers, carpenters, makeup artists, animators, and writers hone their craft and help make Toronto North America's third largest screen-based production centre.

"Doors Open Toronto gives residents an opportunity to discover many of the significant sites that collectively shape our city's identity as a film centre," said Mayor John Tory. "From historic cinemas, film, television and digital media studios to the post-production houses, artist-run centres and film training schools, I invite residents to explore Toronto's built architecture through the eyes of our city's thriving film industry."

"Toronto is recognized globally for its architectural landscape featuring some of the most dynamic award-winning buildings and iconic designs," said Madeline Zito, Vice President Public Relations at Great Gulf. "We are delighted to return as presenting sponsor of Doors Open and invite everyone to join us as we see inside some of the most interesting buildings that celebrate film.”

“Events like Doors Open Toronto are important economic drivers for Toronto," said Councillor Michael Thompson (Ward 37 Scarborough Centre), Chair of the City's Economic Development Committee. "Focusing its theme on the film and television industry, Doors Open allows residents an opportunity to go backstage in the buildings where over 30,000 of Toronto's creative talent works."
